What this system is

WinFormsBootstrap is a .NET Framework library that provides Bootstrap 5-styled UI components for Windows Forms applications. It features a modular architecture with separate files for controls like alerts and buttons, along with built-in light and dark theme support. The system includes a demo application to showcase usage and ensure compatibility with .NET Framework 4.8.1.

Behavioural changes

Complete rewrite to Bootstrap 5 design system with modular architecture

The library has been completely rewritten to adopt the Bootstrap 5 visual language, replacing the previous Bootstrap 4 styling. This change introduces a fully modular, component-based architecture where each control (such as Alerts and Buttons) is separated into its own files with dedicated type definitions and theme abstractions. Users now benefit from built-in Light and Dark theme support for all components, a dedicated utilities layer for colors and typography, and a clearer project structure that includes a demo project. Note that because this is a full rewrite, the new modular structure is not drop-in compatible with the previous single-file version.

WinFormsBootstrap.Demo updated to target .NET Framework 4.8.1

The WinFormsBootstrap.Demo application has been updated to target .NET Framework 4.8.1, as specified in the new App.config file. This change ensures the demo application runs on the latest supported version of the .NET Framework, providing access to the latest runtime improvements and compatibility features for the WinFormsBootstrap components.

Dependencies

Initial project structure for WinFormsBootstrap library and demo

This change introduces the build manifests for the WinFormsBootstrap library and its accompanying demo application, both targeting .NET Framework 4.8.1. The library project defines the core components, including Alert and Button controls with associated theme and type utilities, while the demo project provides a reference implementation that references the library.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 1 October 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit c8c25f3687971308bc079fb5a8aebd66fae46b26 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.18 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-e569280dd5e2.
